Blue Doctor, the start of the series was created out of Wade's Halcyon primative type. Francis Francis called for the following in his Blue Doctor: (1867) A tag of gold with a tail of topping, red butt and red head (as in all Doctors), body of blue floss with a silver rib, a blue hackle , and a complicated wing-bustard, turkey, argus, claret, blue, and yellow swan ( with yellow dominating), mallard or pintail in smaller flies. The derivation to Halcyon and Wade (1861) is clear. Further, in Taverners Fly Tying for Salmon (1947) he credts and earlier claim by H.Jackson of Dunfries. The first in the series which is known in all modern books. Check on all the great books since and you will find a dressing. Pryce-Tannatt, Hale, and Taverner all lists derivations from Jackson. Kelson attributes the Blue Doctor to Wright in his Salmon Fly of 1895, but is in error. Wright is well known for a host of Rangers, and other flies as well. There is a whole series of Doctors now including: Silver, Black, Helmsdale.
